Help on A5 Penspring mod

Hey, can anyone give me a detailed description on how to do the Pen spring mod on the tippmann A5

I thought you put the spring where the sear spring was.

Replacing the sear spring isn't too good of an idea. At all. The trigger pull tension you feel is not from the sear spring at all- it's from the drive spring trying to push the rear bolt forward. The sear spring's job is to have enough tension to catch the rear bolt when traveling at higher rates of fire (hence the increase in tension with the 98C R/T upgrade).

Trigger spring- It is the very frontal spring in the trigger assembly. It sits forward above the trigger, and when you pull the trigger you can see that you compress this spring, and when you let go it pushes the trigger back up. This spring is only necessary for an electro conversion to return the trigger. Otherwise, when the rear bolt latches onto the sear and slides it forward, the sear will create tension on the trigger slider plate (the metal thing with a spring in it on the trigger) and cause it to reset.

Replace the front spring with a light spring from a "clicky pen" [retractable pen] and cut it about the same length as the stock spring. Or take it out.

Cut the pen spring to about the same size as the stock spring.

Its really complex. Remove stock spring, and replace it with pen spring.

EDIT:

I can't believe this is actually a thread. If you have questions about this
mod, read the "Uber Upgrades & FAQ" thread that is stickied at the top.
